Motivation…where for art thou?

OK, that was lame.  But really, where the hell is my motivation?

I have been lethargic, achey, headachey, lazy and whiney all week.

Maybe it’s the end of Summer blues?

On Monday morning after FH left for his hella-extended-40-day trip I came home and wrote a to-do list (as I do often, and always when I know I’m going to be on my own for a long time).  Most of the list consisted of small things I could have banged off in a couple of days.  There’s a separate shorter list of bigger projects, chores, etc that I will hopefully do during the boring evenings with no one to share the couch with.

I’ve barely even scratched the surface of the list.  Gah.

Also, have you noticed…not one trip to the gym this week!?!!  Sleeping in every morning, so then I can’t take the hour mid-day away from work.  Then grumpy and tired following work, or whatever excuse will do.

Well folks, I just put on my workout gear in anticipation of the end of the work day.  I can’t leave early because I have a lot to do today, but I figure if I’m already dressed and ready to go, I’ll actually go right after work.

Hold me to it!!  Please!!

And after that I will tackle at least a couple of things on my list so that I’m not struggling through them on the weekend when I can be out having fun.  Some of these can be done while watching TV, which is kinda mandatory tonight with the premiere of Grey’s Anatomy being on!!  (I don’t even really watch Grey’s regularly, but the season finale was sooooo good that I can NOT miss the premiere!!)

Oh, and just because this is indeed a food porn blog…my breaky…

Coffeeeeee.  Was there ever any doubt?

Toasted cinnamon raisin bagel top with a schmear of Becel.  (Bagels were on sale for 99 cents, versus $4 for a loaf of good bread…)

Stonyfield Farms organic vanilla yogurt with a small sliced nanner.

And now to continue pounding through work things, and heat up some lunch!

Waiting for the Sun

*blinks*

Ugh, my eyes are itchy and tired and I have a headache.  And my shoulder hurts.  And my back hurts.  Boooo. 

Got up early to drive FH to work…only to get almost all the way there (seriously, we could see the dockyard) when we realized that he had worn his uniform home yesterday and hadn’t worn it this morning.  Ooooops.  All the way back home we came…and then back again.

I had been waffling on whether to go to the gym for a run this morning, and losing that half hour made my decision for me.  Instead I just came home to a big mug of much needed/wanted coffee and some couch time with a magazine and the last two episodes of Big Brother.

At 9am I headed on up here to get to work.  My plan has been to bang through as much as I can while I sit here and coax the sun out…it’s trying really hard!  If I can get all of my work done before I head to the chiropractor for 4pm, maybe I’ll get some deck time when I get home. *crosses fingers*

With my second cup of coffee I made breakfast.

PC BM multigrain flax bagel with crunchy organic PB and a drizzle of honey.

A clementine and half a Granny Smith apple on the side.

Around 11am I got up to move around and do some stretching.  My problem shoulder (which hasn’t really truly acted up in months) is killing me today…that shooting pain right down to my elbow again.  NOT GOOD.  Those stupid theatre seats (and unfortunately probably some unknown move at Booty Camp) aren’t good for this particular injury. 

While I was wandering around the house I grabbed a little dish of dried apricots to snack on.

I’m running low on salad fixings but I think I can crank out one more for lunch today.  My goal is to NOT eat at my desk this time!
